27.4.20 Documentation
‘While there may be tensions between the live nature of practice and a recording of the work, documentation can be seen as a potentially dynamic and interactive process between practice, its audience and more traditional written critiques. So from a research perspective, documentation concerns the articulation of practitioners’ questions and processes of working. p163
This is what I’ve tried to do with my online ebooks on Issuu, but is it a ‘dynamic and interactive process’? And does it articulate my ‘questions and processes of working’? I think it does that. Documentation is so complex. How can you adequately capture the dynamic and ever-changing nature of a live, durational event, especially when it goes on for a long time? It has to be long and complex to handle the nuances… but also visual… maybe Issuu is not such a bad way to bring everything together…
